He stammered, “That path ahead is blocked. The kindergarten sealed it off a long time ago. But behind it really is a dangerous place. We’ve warned the children again and again never to go there.”
Baron’s face tightened instantly.
“What’s behind that path? Why do you say it’s dangerous?”
The chief glanced at the principal. Get full chapters from.net
The principal hesitated, lips parting but no words coming out.
Baron suddenly slammed his hand on the table, making everyone jump.
His eyes were icy as he ground out, “Principal, my daughter was drugged and hypnotized in your kindergarten. She was pushed into nearly committing something irreversible against Finn. Do you really think keeping secrets will protect you now? You should understand—if these videos leak, or if I hand them to the police, your kindergarten may not survive.”
The principal’s face went deathly pale.
“It’s not that I don’t want to say. It’s just… it’s really not something I can talk about.”
She looked as if she might cry.
Natalie frowned, sensing this was bigger than she’d imagined.
Baron had the same thought, though he held his tongue, his gaze never leaving the principal.
Finn’s mom, however, wasn’t thinking so far ahead. For her, her son had been hurt at the kindergarten. Yes, Susie had struck him, but after seeing the footage, it was clear she hadn’t acted of her own will. She’d been controlled.
That meant the kindergarten owed them an explanation.
And now, with the principal still dodging, Finn’s mom’s patience snapped.
She might not dare to challenge Natalie, but the principal? That she could handle.
“Principal, if you don’t talk, I’ll call my husband right now and tell him your kindergarten

encouraged kids to hurt my son. When he comes after you, you think you can withstand
it?”
Her words nearly brought the principal to tears.
“That’s not what happened-”

“I don’t care. I want to know what’s behind that path, and why such a dangerous place is tied to a kindergarten. My son is the victim. As his mother, I have the right to know the truth.”
For once, Baron found himself liking Finn’s mom.
This woman really was speaking for them all.
The principal wavered, then finally said, “Fine. I’ll tell you. But if trouble comes later, don’t say it was me who talked.”
Finn’s mom ignored her.
Natalie and Baron didn’t answer either.
The principal let out a long sigh.
“That land behind us used to be a psychiatric hospital. They kept patients with severe schizophrenia there. One night, for reasons still unknown, the hospital suddenly caught fire. Everyone inside burned to death.”
Baron frowned. Something about it didn’t sit right, but he stayed silent.
Natalie and Finn’s mom, though, were absorbed.
“And then? So many people died–didn’t the government step in?” Finn’s mom pressed.
The principal broke into a sweat.
If not for knowing who Finn’s father was, she’d never have tolerated such bluntness.
“The government did investigate. They matched the list of registered patients with the remains. It was close enough. The fire broke out in the dead of night, around one or two in the morning. Rescue efforts were too late, the casualties were horrific.”
She sighed heavily.
Natalie pictured the tragedy in her mind’s eye, her heart softening with sympathy.

“How did the fire start?” she asked.
“No one knows.”

The principal shook her head. “To this day it remains an unsolved case. The asylum was completely destroyed. The land sat unused until someone approved it for this kindergarten. Honestly, it feels cursed.”
Bitterness edged her voice.
“Think about it. Putting a kindergarten on such a resentful piece of land–it’s cruel. These are innocent children. Old sayings say a child’s eyes are the clearest. If there are… unclean things here…”
“Principal, stick to science.”
Baron cut her off sharply.
Words like that weren’t safe to throw around. Who knew whose ears they might reach?
